Portumna GAA Club has been crowned the “Best Club under the Sun”, and with it comes a trip of a lifetime to Abu Dhabi.
Sponsored by Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates and official sponsor of the GAA Hurling All Ireland Senior Championship, Portumna saw off tough competition from Kildangan in county Tipperary, Sarsfield Hurling Club in county Cork, and Nass Juvenile Hurling Club, to be awarded the top prize in Etihad’s nationwide search for Ireland’s best hurling club.
Hurling enthusiasts from across the country voted for their favourite finalist online, and with almost 65,000 votes cast, Portumna GAA Club won by almost 10,000 votes.
Etihad Airways will fly the club’s hurling team to a four-day training camp with former All Stars, DJ Carey and Nicky English in Abu Dhabi.
